Making an appearance...

It has indeed been a very long time since my
last post, and I am so happy to say that I have finally been able to pick up my
Copic markers and craft supplies again.

As some of you are aware I haven’t been
completely absent from this awesome crafty blog world, just simply watching you all
from afar J

Without getting into details about my health
situation, what I will say is that I do believe I have it under control for the
time being.

With that being said I am still far from where I want to be, but just so happy to be able
to get crafty when opportunity presents itself. I am well aware too that it will undoubtedly
be sporadic at best.

Good enough for
this girlie that’s for sure!

I have made a few cards over the past month
and would like to share a couple of them with you in one post. That way it keeps my sitting to a
minimum which is something I still have difficulty with.

For the past few months I’ve been following several
crafty Facebook fan pages; namely Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Krafty Friends,
Passionate Paper Creations, Kit and Clowder and Make It Crafty just to mention
a few. I think joining the occasional challenge in this format will be much easier
on me as well.

So without further ado
here they are…

My first card was posted over on the Kraftin’
Kimmie page a couple of days ago for their anything goes challenge.

My second card was posted on the Passionate
Paper Creations page. Thanks to Rhea Weigand I can also continue to learn new
things and challenge myself with the many tutorials that are posted from time
to time, not to mention tons of inspiration from fellow followers.

One such tutorial that Rhea posted was the
cool “scrubbing bubbles” background technique that I just had to try my hand.

I will apologize in advance for not providing
links and details about my cards, but I think keeping things simple right now
will be a wise idea.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today. My
colouring skills are a wee bit rusty, and I will likely be making cards more on the
clean and simply side of things from here on in. I'm just so happy to be back on my blog again, even
if it won’t be as regular as I used to be.

Until I have more to show you I’ll sign off
for now. Thanks for stopping by

About Me

In 2000 I was stricken with a life altering illness that ended my professional career in law enforcement. You think your life is going according to plan, and then one day you wake up and it all changes. I have many physical disabilities that rob me of my independence. After overcoming many hurdles there came the day when I desperately needed to find something meaningful to do with my time. It had to be constructive, challenging, and had to keep my brain active. I tried so many different things that just didn’t light that spark, so I kept trying new things and so on. One day I found myself dabbling in the paper crafting world where I developed a passion for Copic Marker colouring, and guess what, I found that spark. Now I have a new passion, a new direction wherein that I want to learn more and more.
If somebody had of told me that I would eventually create a blog and display my artistic abilities within it I would have told them they were off their rocker! However, I didn't get here alone; together with the love of a wonderful man, a truly amazing family, my masterful friend Sean, and along with some awesome and wacky women friends, I was able to get it together.
